He has about double in black tip and twice that much in garand clips. He is a hoarder and has a hard time letting anything go. I was thinking .80 a round told him .70 may sell it a bit quicker. My man has so much stuff, keeps saying he want to sell it off but only got him to move on the 2400 rounds. Currently in 50 cal cans with the cans in 40mm can.

But shooting corrosive ammo in a Garand requires a complete tear down clean and grease. Disassembling the gas cylinder puts wear on the gas barrel splines which results in a loose gas cylinder fit which results in lost accuracy

Really? I just hose it out in the utility sink and blow dry. I might even use soap.

Removing the cylinder from the barrel may cause wear on the splines.

Disassembling the stainless steel gas cylinder does not.

If shooting corrosive primed ammo was bad half the world's rifles would be non funtional. I shoot the crap out of it and stockpile it as feel it stores longer. I still use lead based paint as well. Corrosive and poison is good to me. After shoot a rifle with corrosive ammo I take the wood off, put in shower and pour boiling water through it like a black powder rifle. When water starts coming out clear put wood back on, clean with standard solvents, oil and grease crap out of it and put up.

Have AK's and other combloc rifles that have had thousands of rounds of corrosive ammo and bore is just as nice as when new 30 plus years later. Only times I drive to pick up marketplace items face to face is for steel core corrosive ammo. Love the stuff. Of course I am about to crack a fresh can of lead NOS lead based paint because without lead yellow and red fade so fast I feel havery shortchanged my clients.

Regardless of action type if corrosive ammo has been shot in the rifle I use boiling water and Windex (make sure it is the original formula with Ammonia) clean bores. Bolts, all parts this way. Boiling water dries fast and clean, lube everything - ( currently using CLP) and then put it away. Been following this formula for about 25 years now never a speck of rust on anything.
